The number of refugees resettled in the Bangor area will reach 37 by the end of June, when a large family is expected to arrive from the Middle East and begin its new life in Maine. Catholic Charities Maine has resettled 28 refugees from Africa, the Middle East and Latin America in Greater Bangor between October 2022 and May of this year, according to data provided by the agency last week. That count does not include four Cuban-Haitian entrants  as well as 14 Ukrainian humanitarian parolees who have come to Bangor and surrounding towns.
